Click on the scenario menu tab (lower left of the game screen):
and select
edit technology
That will bring up a list of all the techs:
select the faction, and scroll down the list of techs, hitting the "toggle" button for each tech you want to give that faction. Change factions by again selecting a new faction from that lower left hand button.
When finished, hit "done" and then bring back up the scenario menu, and this time select
Reset all Factions. That then applies the tech outcomes to the SE settings and will impact the research rate accordingly
